Documentation Quickstart

How to open an area, what appears on its own, and what each page is for. Times are Spain (Europe/Madrid).

Quickstart

Start here

You always work on one area. Pick it in the left sidebar, under the logo. The map, the alerts, and the report all follow that choice. A coloured bar across the top tells you which mode that area is in.

Live

Operational monitoring

An ongoing watch. The calendar includes today and the next 6 days. Satellite detections can become alerts. You review them, confirm the real fires, and close them when they are out.

Study

Historical scenario

A closed window, with a start and an end you choose. There are no operational alerts. Alerts and Review & Confirm say Live only. Use Monitor for risk, hotspots, and burned area. The report still lists the fires in the period.

The sidebar

Monitor — the map for the area you selected.
Alerts — candidates and the full list. Live only. A red count is candidates still waiting.
Review & Confirm — read the news and decide. Live only.
Report — what happened between two dates.
Settings — areas, news search, email, and whether jobs are running.

On Monitor, N 🔥 is confirmed fires that are still open.

First time

1. Create an area and choose Live or Study.
2. Wait. The map, the fires, and the news do not arrive together.
3. Open Monitor. On Live, alerts appear when a fire persists.
